Yeah, I've seen it and thought Denzel did a wonderful acting job. The things I wonder about, though, are whether or not this is how he really is, or if Hollywood just made a mountain out of a man, like they usually do.
I've tried to discuss civil rights history on here before, nobody gives a shit. I didn't even hardly get any replies to my topic about Emmitt Till, and when I made a post on Martin Luther King day, nobody gave a shit. I guess I'm white, so my opinions or thoughts or respect doesn't count.

sickening.
I have alot of love for Malcolm X. Ive studied his work, read countless books etc etcBased on my observations, and readings, I would have to say- in answer to your question Trauma- that the movie was a fairly good portrayal of the real deal
